THE catalysis of oxalacetate decarboxylation by metallic ions constitutes a simple 'model' system, the properties of which may throw some light on the biological decarboxylation mechanisms. Kornberg, ...
NON-enzymatic decarboxylation of α-amino-acids was tried many years ago by heating them above 200° C., often dissolved or dispersed in an inert solvent too. As the reactions are always exotherm, ...
The decarboxylation of DOPA by erythrocyte hemolysates differs from DOPA decarboxylation catalyzed by aromatic aminoacid decarboxylases that contain vitamin B 6 in several significant respects. The ...
